Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Napa cabbage
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 Lemon
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Remove any wilted or damaged outer leaves from the Napa cabbage and rinse it thoroughly. Pat it dry with paper towels.
Cut the Napa cabbage lengthwise into quarters, then cut each quarter in half to create 8 wedges. Keep the core intact to ensure the wedges hold together.
Place the cabbage wedges on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle evenly with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Rub the seasonings into the cabbage gently to ensure even coating.
Arrange the wedges cut-side down on the baking sheet, leaving space between each wedge for proper roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are crispy and charred, and the cabbage is tender.
Remove the cabbage from the oven and let it cool for a minute. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top for brightness.
If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese while the cabbage is still warm to allow it to melt slightly.
Serve immediately as a tasty side dish or add to your favorite grain bowls or salads.
